Fundraising and Grant Recipients

Charlie’s Challenge is our annual fundraising event to benefit the important work organizations do to support families who have experienced pregnancy and infant loss.

We are excited to share our grant recipients who will benefit from Charlie’s Challenge 2025!

Money granted will directly support burial and funeral costs for families experiencing pregnancy or infant loss.

Money granted will cover the cost of the 2026 Wave of Light Event materials such as printed materials, candles, personalizing the candles, the Grief Recovery Specialists’ time, and refreshments for the families and participants of the event.

Money granted will provide support to families experiencing pregnancy or infant loss and offset financial burdens of living expenses and funeral costs.

Money granted will be used to support approximately 50 families in the state of Ohio receiving a photo session of their deceased infant, including but not limited to recruiting, training, mobilizing photographers, increasing the number of medical affiliates to photograph babies when a photographer is not available or the session is not conducive for a photographer.

Your generous gift will make a difference for families who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss. Help ensure we meet our goal of $25,000.
